Arts Quincy, Quincy Art Center and the Illinois Veterans Home invite area military veterans and civilians to submit artwork in a Veterans Day Art Show that will be on display this November!

Entries are free to participants who created pieces this year in the watercolor, clay or printmaking classes of Made In America: Veterans Art Program. The show is also open to any artist from the region who has served in the military or civilians who have done a patriotic work.

Artists may submit up to three works in any medium. All works must be original and have been completed within the last three years. All wall-hung work must be framed and/or equipped with hanging devices. All other work must be ready to install. Please include the name of the piece, the medium, your full name and any information about your military service you would like to include. Prices may be included if your artwork is for sale.

Entries may be dropped off to the Arts Quincy office, located at 300 Civic Center Plaza, Suite #244 (on the second floor inside the Oakley-Lindsay Center) any time before Friday, Nov. 2, during regular office hours of 8 am-5 pm. Artwork will be on display during the month of November 2018 at the Illinois Veterans Home.

All participants will receive an award and the artwork named best in show will receive a cash prize! Artwork may be picked up the week of December 3-7, 2018.

The public is invited to view the exhibit during November and to a special Veterans Day service at 10 am on Sunday, Nov. 11 at the Illinois Veterans Home.

This program is funded by The Exchange Club of Quincy, a gift from Al Beck through the Community Foundation Serving west Central Illinois & Northeast Missouri and the business and individual members of Arts Quincy.
